Son of Sam is like prog-Misfits, progressing in many directions. The unique collaboration of Danzig guitarist Todd Youth, Samhain/Tiger Army drummer London May, and Samhain drummer features vocalist Davey Havok (AFI). He sometimes reaches cartoonish proportions in his diction that gives the group an Alice Donut feel. At other times they offer Sonic Youth-like art noise (“Evernight”), while at other times they tread very near to classic rock. The title track is very much in the classic Misfits vein. – Tom Schulte
